Ron Swanson: I now officially insist that you take a sabbatical.
Leslie Knope: No, no.
Ron Swanson: Let me finish. I used to work in a sheet metal factory, but then a job came along at the tannery. The hours were better, and I would get paid. Also I'd have the chance to work with leather both before and after it was on the cow, which had always been a dream of mine. I didn't want to give up my sheet metal job, so I tried to do both jobs and finish middle school.
Leslie Knope: How old were you?
Ron Swanson: 11. The point is, I was so tired, I tried to puncture an eight-gauge aluminum foil with a leather awl. [laughs]
Leslie Knope: Wow.
Ron Swanson: I learned a lesson. Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing. So if you want to win that seat--
Leslie Knope: Which I do.
Ron Swanson: Then commit yourself 100%. Take a sabbatical.
